Google Email Audit API - Create a mailbox for export error

Question

We're trying to request a mailbox download from Google, we're sending the request to the following URL :

https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/compliance/audit/mail/export/dev-gpanel.com/andrew

However, after this, we received the following error :

EntityDoesNotExist(1301): [email protected]
    at com.google.gdata.data.appsforyourdomain.AppsForYourDomainException.narrow(AppsForYourDomainException.java:133)
    at com.google.gdata.client.appsforyourdomain.AppsForYourDomainService.insert(AppsForYourDomainService.java:102)
    at com.promevo.beyond.server.impl.AuditServiceImpl.createGmailExport(AuditServiceImpl.java:150)
    at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
    at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57)
    at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43)

The user [email protected] does exist.

The weird thing is that this actually DOES create the request (as it is returned in the feed for getting all download requests).

Can anyone assist?

Answer 1

Based from this forum, EntityDoesNotExist error occurs when there is a another Google account somewhere using the same username already.

Workaround for now is apparently to create them by hand, once they are in the system they will sync ok.

I'm going to try using the GAM tool to batch import them all via a script since that should work (like this: http://code.google.com/p/google-apps-manager/wiki/BulkOperations).
